SPACE: Chinese Space Walkers Stalk The Space Station

November 3, 2008: On September 27th, a Chinese Shenzhou space capsule came within 45 kilometers of the International Space Station, and two of the three crewmen made the first Chinese space walk (going outside the spacecraft in their space suits.) Later, a small, 88 pound microsatellite (the BX-1) was released from the Shenzhou. This was supposed to be a science experiment, but the fact that the Shenzhou came so close to the International Space Station, and then released a smaller, maneuverable (via small gas jets) BX-1, indicated another satellite destruction drill. The BX-1 could easily have been directed at the nearby space station, and destroyed it.

Privacy-Preserving Data Mining Using Multi-Group Randomized Response Techniques

Privacy is an important issue in data mining and knowledge discovery. This paper describes a specific privacy preserving data mining problem: Company C wants to collect data from its customers to form a data set for data mining purpose. For the data collection, C sends out a survey containing a set of questions; each customer needs to answer those questions and sends back the answers. However, because the survey contains sensitive questions, not every user feels comfortable to disclose his/her answers to those questions; how could one develop a method such that C cannot find out any customer's actual answers, while still being able to derive reasonably accurate data mining results? The paper proposes to use the randomized response techniques to conduct the data collection.

Hong Kong shares up after 3-day slide, China data; China Mobile surges UPDATE

HONG KONG (XFN-ASIA) - Share prices were higher as China Mobile and other key blue chips led a rebound following the market's 13.5 pct drop over the previous three sessions.

Predicting Boundary-Layer Transition on Space-Shuttle Re-Entry

The BLT Prediction Tool (“BLT” signifies “Boundary Layer Transition”) is provided as part of the Damage Assessment Team analysis package, which is utilized for analyzing local aerothermodynamics environments of damaged or repaired space-shuttle thermal protection tiles. Such analyses are helpful in deciding whether to repair launch-induced damage before re-entering the terrestrial atmosphere. Given inputs that include re-entry trajectory and attitude parameters, air density, air temperature, and details of each damage or repair site, the BLT Prediction Tool calculates expected times of laminar-to-turbulent transition onset of the boundary-layer flow during re-entry. (These times help to define the proper aerothermodynamic environment to use in subsequent thermal and stress analyses of local structural components.

The ISS Marks 10 Years In Space

Matt_dk writes to point out the upcoming tenth anniversary of the International Space Station in two days' time. "On 20 November 1998, a Russian Proton rocket lifted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome for a historic mission: It was carrying the first module of the International Space Station ISS, named Zarya (Russian for 'dawn'). This cargo and control module, which weighs about 20 tonnes and is almost 13 meters long, provides electrical power, propulsion, flight path guidance and storage space. The launch of the module... heralded a new era in space exploration, as, for the first time ever, lasting cooperation in space was achieved between Russia, the US, Europe, Canada and Japan. Over the next ten years, many other modules were brought into orbit, and ISS developed into the largest human outpost in space.

Generic Data Access in XML Based Workflow Management Systems

Various kinds of data are processed in workflow management systems: from case data to control data, from internal data to access to external databases or documents exchanged in inter-organizational workflows. The paper proposes a uniform treatment of all kinds of business data in workflows. This is achieved by an abstraction mechanism which enables the transparent access to data in any source in a uniform way. The paper describes an implementation of the extendible generic data access plug-in which provides the workflow management system with updateable XML views of relational data.

Dissemination of Heterogeneous XML Data

A lot of recent research has focused on the content-based dissemination of XML data. However, due to the heterogeneous data schemas used by different data publishers even for data in the same domain, an important challenge is how to efficiently and effectively disseminate relevant data to subscribers whose subscriptions might be specified based on schemas that are different from those used by the data publishers. This paper examines the options to resolve this schema heterogeneity problem in XML data dissemination, and proposes a novel paradigm that is based on data rewriting.

It's Official, Australia Needs a Space Agency

Dante_J writes "In the final report published by the Australian Senate inquiry into 'The Current State of Australia's Space Science & Industry Sector' entitled 'Lost in Space? Setting a new direction for Australia's space science and industry sector,' it calls for the formation of a 'Space Industry Advisory Council' to oversee the creation of a fully-fledged Australian Space Agency. Of the top 20 GDP nations, Australia is the only one without a Space Agency, which impacts on many aspects of ordinary life, not to mention Research and Engineering endeavors. Every satellite operated by Australia is owned by another party and the costs of this alone are comparable to that of a Space Agency. The report is a tidy piece that drew upon submissions form Andy Thomas, and an impressive collection of Australian Academics and Space Science entities fr
